Poison
02:28
|
|||
Their words are poison
Infecting your reason
Shifting your own ideals
Down the drain more money in their pockets
Don't drink their poison
Resist temptation
See it with your own eyes
The poison you drink until you die!
The paper has come; it's knocking at your door
Big bold letters show the world is breaking down
A quick reminder that things are getting worse
*Another tragedy for breakfast
*Another drama in a similar verse
The weak and the poor are blind to what's out there
They've been misguided and massively betrayed
The evil owns the media so that it can divert
And all it is is one big lie
Billboards and news channels; their modern bibles
The breaking news is nothing new no one is making through
A constant recall, repeating everything
A constant recall, repeating everything

Distance & Time
02:19
|
|||
Trapped up the tip of the tallest mount
Where the air is hard to breathe
Left for dead in the cold
Deep in the darkness of the darkest cave
When the only option's to be brave
Or waiting to be saved...?
Distance and time don't matter
We have built this bond so strong
A few fingers of true friends
Counted on a single hand
Distance and time don't count
I heard the call I'm on my way
On a run to sort it out
I know you would have done the same
Distance and time don't mean shit
We have long tighten the grip
Mutual loyalty breeds our creed
In which we all believe
We went through all four seasons
We have seen catastrophes
You know we vowed devotion
One for one forever more

Inner Void
02:57
|
|||
Like cruel ink writing words of hate
Like a deep paper cut from the same sheet
Bound by the blood
Chained with anger
Or rather remorse?
Or is it self-loathing?
I made amends so insignificant
Pulling out the essence from the core
The inner void swallowed the two of us
Marked by a cruel ink in the wound
So salty! So non-alcoholic!
Is it so hard to admit?
Forgiveness is a 2-way process
This cruel ink; its potent solvent kills
I've been proven un-proof, porousness positive
Bound by the thought
Bitter sour souvenir
Recalling in playback
Talking out of tact

Set The Rules
02:23
|
|||
Don't you dare to say there is no other way
I've got the feeling that you ought to break
Just dare and stare out of the mainframe
You got to think for every day
Cannot cannot cannot see your view
It's up to you to create something new
Cause if it's a fight this might just be the one
You got to fight for one more day
Cause this is all the same
And it's a shame
This might be the fight coming up for you
You gotta set the rules
Your brain is the tool
This might be the fight coming up for you
You got the time to think about a way
To get yourself out and far from the frame
Go on and try your luck on me!
There's nothing left for you to do
You've got to reject this one last thought
Don't go and think that there is nothing new
Struggle for normalcy upside down
You got to find another way

I Still Care
03:35
|
|||
There is a starting point to everything
A journey tossed as history
It never sets forth fate nor destiny
Time fluctuates and minds are aging
An opening for maturity
One must seize the chance and cleanse insights
Where will we go from here?
Is this an endless circle?
How long it’s going to take
Before we make it right?
Now tell me if you care
Do you still believe?
Now tell me if you fake
Tell me if you
Here hope still fades
On a descending grade
When no one cares
But I still have faith in you
Minding one’s own
On a pursuit alone
It shall lead to lost
Care is not beyond repair, I still trust
Some are so skilled
Faking they own the facts
Like sleights of hand
But this trick won’t work on me
Most are abused
Straightforwardly confused
Like they can’t see straight
But this trend is frail on me, I still care

Fitting in the Outburst
02:27
|
|||
Standing Still; I can’t feel a thing!
I know my goal; my values
I know my role; my virtues
Standing Still; I can't feel a thing!
Figuring the outcome first
Fitting in the outburst
To win!
The contest falls
All answers are false
Questions are deceptive
But I know where to run
Back to where it all began
Hit rewind; Hit rewind
Push one button at a time
A single change of choice
Fine-tuning my voice
Stop a short while for a thought
Before I go Forward!
Standing Still; I can’t feel a thing!
I draw fuel out of my rage
I’m preventing any outage
Standing Still; I can't feel a thing!
Figuring the outcome first
Fitting in the outburst
To make
Science wrong
Defying the expected
Proving it delusion
But I know where to look
It’s not printed in a book
Hit rewind; Hit rewind
Got to open up my mind
I'm about to make it fast
Operating at full blast
Figuring the outcome first
Fitting in the outburst
Standing Still; I can’t feel a thing!
I cannot stop the motion
The button has been broken
Standing Still; This is no way to win!
Figuring the outcome first
Fitting in the outburst
Hit Play!

You're Family
03:13
|

Life goes fast they say so do I
Life won't wait it won't be a waste
There's still fuel to be filled in the tank
Still great moments left in bank
Please my hunger, my apetite
I know that there's more to life
Can't expect less than living it fast
And I just want it to last
I won't be the next to leave
Still too many people to meet
I'll go and cross the border
As my apetizer
I'll fly above the waters
As the main dish, yessir
I won't overlook my neighbor
Yeah we will share dessert
And I'll stop by your place for sure
You're family!
Time flies by get your head up high
Don't you wait mate don't start late
There're still spots to be filled in the rank
Make your place show the world your face
Cause just like me, I know you see
Energy within a synergy
Now we starve for a sweeter taste
For more fuel to win the race

I never took the time, never reviewed the past
I never lose a friend, I’m tired of wearing the mask
I grant you forgiveness, it seems you can’t care less
And then you look the other way, apology delayed
The wound is deep, amity rots
Your words didn’t turn in what you sought
The pain is gone; the scar is there
(Sorry, Sorry!) Admit your fault; it’s time to grow
(Sorry, Sorry!) It’s not that hard; don’t disregard
(Say Sorry, Say Sorry!) Defeat your shame; I’m not to blame
(Say Sorry, Say Sorry!) Let’s turn the page and leave it all behind
I’ve been iron branded, non-anonymously
The unmasked executioner is still roaming free
There is no seed of remorse or inner self disgrace!
And then you still deny, don’t expect me to forget!
Do you still care?
The charge is weighty, yeah the burden is worse
The hope I carry, so do you with remorse
The faith I embrace, conflicts with your disgrace
Your unwillingness forever scarred my face
Maybe deep inside you still care!

Non-Existent Song
02:06
|
|||
Once upon a time there was a song that had never been played
It’s a song no one will sing along
We’ve played it off the record
And this song, as this riff does, already vanished away
And this song would have been our best one
But now it's lost
Non-existent song...
Non-existent song...
Non-existent song...
Once upon a time there was a song we cannot play today
There was a riff in the depth of our guitarist's head
I followed on my drum sets
With mood, and intensity, and vision of the moment
Then the bassline went and merged as fuck
It won't be on our next album
Non-existent song...
Non-existent song...
Non-existent song...
That song without a chorus
That song without a verse
That song we’ll never play again
And we never played before

Away From You
02:37
|
|||
You take you take you never give
Your selfishness has no limits
You take at will and shut the door
And that’s a way for you
To take your due to take even more
I say you’re rotten to the core
You seek to reach a higher floor
But that’s away from you
Your pretty face conceals a leech
And your kindness, a toxic speech
You fake your life for sympathy
And it’s a weight for you
To carry on in the long run
Reputation is a burden
Because your dignity’s long gone
And that’s away from you
Maybe one day someone will tear
Away the thoughtful mask you wear
You know the truth, it’s only fair
No one will speak for you
And then a million ears will hear
And then a million eyes will see
That you’re a tight-fisted phoney
And it’s the end for you
